Hall of Fame

The Oklahoma African-American Hall of Fame is a unique portrait gallery of local leaders that encourage and foster professional, social, educational, and economic achievement.

On July 11, 2009, Ntu presented a re-dedication ceremony at the Langston University-Oklahoma City campus.

The event provided a free, public viewing of the renovated portrait exhibit. The honorees are native Oklahomans, or an Oklahoma resident of at least ten years, who have made significant contributions to the local community or the state of Oklahoma.

Fifty-One (51) persons have been inducted into the Oklahoma African-American Hall of Fame, formerly known as the Afro-American Hall of Fame of Oklahoma, Inc.

We are excited about the renovations that have taken place for this exhibit. It was made possible through our partnership with Langston University Oklahoma City Campus. One of the purposes of the gallery is to teach the younger generation about the contributions that African-Americans have made to Oklahoma history. And we need to remind our generation just how much progress has been made. We are responsible for ensuring that their legacy continues to provide a path for others to follow and thrive,” said Bill Broiles, Ntu Art Vice President.
